CARBON DIOXIDE CONVERSION

A world-class catalyst for the reverse water–gas shift reaction has been developed, transforming carbon dioxide into a key building block for eco-friendly fuels. The shift (RWGS) reaction is a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H₂O) by reacting it with hydrogen (H₂) in a reactor. The resulting carbon monoxide can be combined with the remaining hydrogen to produce syngas, which serves as a building block for synthetic fuels such as e-fuels* and methanol.
